Unit 4 Wildlife protection
China Has Given up Trying to Eradicate Wolves 中国已经放弃了消灭狼 Conrvationists had much to cheer about when, in early February, China published a long-awaited update to its list of protected animals. It is now twice as long, with almost 1, 000 species. Snake-lovers celebrated the inclusion of the lime-green Mangshan pit viper. Fans of the Yangzi finless porpoi, also known as the “smiling angel”, had reason to rejoice. Yet perhaps the most unexpected gift was handed to champions of the common wolf. Unloved in many places, wolves were until recently en as a pest in China. When the country last drew up a protected-species list in 1988, a campaign to exterminate wolves for rewards, launched in the 1950s under Mao, was still popular. Killers now face steep fines and possible prison time. In Chine, as in other languages, wolves get a raw deal. They feature in proverbs about collusion and cruelty (to have “the heart of a wolf and the lungs of a dog”), infamy and greed (to harbour the “ambition of wild wolves”). Lechers are wolf-like. 【外刊概要】 本篇文章介绍了中国不再消灭狼, 如今甚至将其列入了保护动物名录。文章分析了这一变化的原因。 | 主题语境 人与自然 课标话题 保护环境 思维品质 通过对文章的阅读和理解, 了解动物保护以及保持生态平衡的意义。 对接教材 必修2 Unit 4 Wildlife protection; 选修6 Unit 4 Global warming; 选修7 Unit 3 中外文化差异Under the a |
